Re what Ray said about me using turface as breakfast cereal, absolutely not
so.
However, if they come out with a sugar-coated version, I might succumb.
I too was somewhat amazed and encouraged to see the obviously healthy spike
of A. taiwanense emerging from the ground in the Peterson garden in
Minneapolis last Saturday. Snow cover or not, that's a pretty good test of
hardiness (USDA Zone 4). I wish I had asked how deep it was planted.
